Why Didn't the Palestinians Accept the Partition of Palestine?

The partition plan had nothing to do with the creation of Palestine. The idea of a 'Palestinian' identity as distinct from Jewish identity did not exist before the mid-20th century. The term 'Palestinian' was often used interchangeably with 'Jewish.'

The Arab-Nazi Racism and Rejection of Self-Determination

Arab societies and cultures display extreme Nazi-like racism towards Jews. This fundamental rejection of Jewish equal rights in the Middle East has been a driving force behind the countless conflicts between Arabs and Jews since World War I. The so-called 'Palestinians' have shown no interest in a 'second' state but rather a desire to wipe out Israel and its Jewish inhabitants.

Confidence in Military Aid from Neighboring Arab States

There is evidence that some Arabs in 'Palestine' were confident that neighboring Arab countries would support them in defeating the Jewish population. They outright rejected the Partition Plan because they believed they could easily conquer and then establish dominance over Israel.

The Reality of the Partition Plan and the Post-1948 Landscape

The Partition Plan, which was offered long ago, is no longer an option. The land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people. Arabs have no rights to claim the land they live on, as these claims are neither true nor supported by historical facts. Arabs are native to Arabia, not Palestine. The goal remains to eliminate the Jews and create an Islamic state.

The 1948 Victory and Post-War Control

Arab armies failed to completely push the Jews into the sea, and instead, Israel conquered most of the land they were supposed to have. From 1948 to 1967, Egypt controlled the Gaza Strip and Jordan controlled the West Bank. Neither Egypt nor Jordan gave Palestinians a voice or the right to elect leaders. In contrast, Israel granted Palestinians the right to vote and self-governance, only to be met with violent resistance from Palestinians.

The Ongoing Conflict Since 1967

After the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel gained control of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. From 1967 to 1982, Egypt held the Gaza Strip and Jordan occupied the West Bank. However, neither Egypt nor Jordan allowed Palestinians to self-govern. Israel’s decision to grant Palestinians the right to vote and the internal struggle for Palestinian leadership continued to be a point of contention.

The Future of the Conflict

The conflict will continue to simmer until Hamas is decisively defeated. The goal remains clear: eradicate the Jewish state and establish an Islamic one. Only when this objective is achieved will the conflict cease to be a recurring cycle of violence.
